Islands of the Caribbean including both windward and leeward islands

Didn’t make the boxing day partae

Too many cold beverages and fun on the boat after dinner to get motivated to head back to shore. Floating in the water behind the boat, jello and a little impromptu snorkeling pretty much wore us out.

I was shooting a little video with the iPad and tossed the Flip video camera towards Wayne and it came up short. Hence the impromptu snorkeling that so far has remained unsuccessful. Maybe this mornings session? Oh well the only footage on there was the rough sailing from Trinidad, so it’s not a huge loss as that silly thing never kept a good charge any way.

Plans for the day include a walk on shore the other way around the island and that’s about it. Maybe head to Bequia later in the day.

Grilled yard bird and green beans with some of the saltiest rice you ever tried. Note to self cooking taters in Caribbean sea water is perfect, rice on the other hand needs way less kosher salt than is in the sea water. Hence the rice be came turtle food.

Waiting time

Nuttin better to do but lime more of the day away till the big partae on top of the hill.

Sweet Mustique

On shore hiked around the island, up to the top found the hilltop bar that was open and a good thing cause it was straight up hill, and we were rewarded with a great view and a cold cheap beer from a locals bar not the yachtie bar that I’m typing this from where the cheapest thing on the menu is over $20 USD.

I think in the video you will see the crystal blue waters and lovely setting that we are camping in.

Motored in to the wind all day. Landed 2 fish. Threw them back then we looked up what the were and are really disappointed to have thrown back an albacore tuna that was only about 18 inches long at we coulda had for dinner tonight. And something that was 3 feet or so, do wahoo’s have teeth? Anyway they all went swimming away next time well look first release later.

Made water and topped up on electricity on today’s motor over here. We have 1/2 a boat oaf water or 40 gallons of fresh water for showers and cleaning. All the electronics and batteries are a full and a great wifi signal from the boat.

Christine is coming back from shopping and is empty handed. Awesome. A cold beverage and we’ll head back to the boat for dinner and swimming showering in paradise.
